Collaborative Workshop Highlight 🚀! This week, our colleagues were thrilled to join Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V.'s Earth Observation Center for a workshop to discuss joint projects and future directions. The goal? To explore the links between land cover, air pollution, noise, heat, and health using cohort studies, satellite imagery, and AI, all while ensuring FAIR data. We were proudly represented by Prof. Annette Peters, Dr. Alexandra Schneider, Dr. Kathrin Wolf, Nikolaos (Nikos) Nikolaou, and Dr. Marco Dallavalle. We’re excited to continue building on our joint Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC)- and Helmholtz AI-funded projects, including METAMAP³ and Noise2NAKOᴬᴵ, and look forward to future collaborations! A big thank you to DLR for hosting us! ✨ 👉 Read more about METAMAP³: https://lnkd.in/dQQxE-vF 👉 Learn more about Noise2NAKOᴬᴵ: https://lnkd.in/dntgHrmC #Epidemiology #AirPollution #ClimateHealth #AI #FAIRData #Collaboration #HealthResearch Helmholtz Munich

I am returning again and again to compression these days (in python & julia). We have massive amounts of data that we required for AI training at Helmholtz AI and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) after all. One important library in this remains Blosc2 and the growing ecosystem around it! I am happy to provide a testimonial for the team and the ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/ey2JW8ED Francesc Alted ironArray SLU
